It was another day and for the past few weeks Tom had been slightly distancing himself from him. The annoying bastard would still trouble Tord from time to time and give gibes here and there. That said, Tord found Tom to be considerate this time around.

They just had a weird adventure yesterday that involved the two new neighbors that they had on 29 Durdam lane. Well, it was more like Edd was being an idiot and chasing after one of its inhabitants, Keira.

It was pretty weird because last that Tord remembered there were supposed to be two bimbo blondes in 29 Durdam lane and not a blonde and a raven. Like, it was supposed to be a Katya and Kim there but now a Keira and Katline lived in that place.

That, and Edd embarrassed himself by unknowingly getting some kind of cursed plant as a gift for the aforementioned blonde, Keira. The said thing would make people vomit to high heavens when you drink Cola in its presence and try to eat you as it becomes a large 10-foot plant monster.

In short, it was a weird shit show that got the four of the gang running for their lives and into the more crowded parts of the city while the two women high tailed back into their home. Tord was then forced to use some of his military skills and pull out a small portable flamethrower and shoot it ablaze a few times as a distraction. Not far behind him, Tom had hijacked a truck full of literal bricks and dumped it on the creature.

In the end, with their teamwork and Matt's added help of dropping a whole large pack of gunpowder that he got from them running through some vintage gun shop, the plant monster finally died as it exploded. The three of them ended up being exhausted but it wasn't like how Edd was horribly doing since he was still continuously vomiting.

Out of the three of them that were okay; only Tord had enough medical knowledge since fighting for years in the army and being a scientist of different sorts forced him to study enough about medicine up to the point that he could do serious surgery. Heck, with the years he served as an Emperor he was able to sneak in learning a medical degree and get his own license.

That was why, as unlicensed he was in the current moment, he was the only one qualified to properly nurse the Cola addict back to health as Edd's electrolyte imbalance was seriously affecting the brown eyed brunet. Edd was trembling badly along with his muscle weakness and the man was pretty much disoriented most the time that had Tord worried.

So, with getting a few equipment out of his lab, the silvernette had an advanced health monitor placed in Edd's room along with an IV drip that needs to be replaced every few hours. Matt and Tom were pretty much bystanders at this point so he had them sent out and handle the rest of the house chores if there were any.

That said, what he didn't expect was for Tom and Matt nearly burn the kitchen down.

It was pretty much already close to dinner time and it was understandable to be hungry. But what Tord couldn't understand was how both of them could have burnt water and made a hole on a large casserole pot. Like, this was just surprising since from his knowledge in his previous life, Tom at least knew how to cook while Matt preferred to eat cold/frozen food when no one was around to cook.

Eyeing the two of them march out and now without sight of the kitchen, Tord gave a small wave with his hand and internally muttered a 'Restore Area' spell. Then, immediately enough all traces of destruction looked like nothing happened.
